He has been under contract at RCA, a Sony subsidiary, since 2012.

However he has now been removed from RCA website.

Allegations against R. Kelly have been around for ten years, and he was acquitted on child pornography charges in 2008.

However, they have resurfaced in recent years, with the latest arriving this month.

Kelly has repeatedly denied all allegations of misconduct.
